my major ot3 rn is frisk/asriel/chara. i like most variations of the ot3, but am kind of selective about the chara/frisk part haha. hm. chihiro/ishimaru/mondo used to be a big one for me. and in ye old hetalia days, the bad friend trio was my ot3 but... found a lot of it was focused on angst about love triangles.
@Charlie i didn't use to ship frisk/chara/asriel but then i started shipping frisk<3<asriel incidentally chara<3frisk<3<asriel<3chara is the only context in which i'll ship chasriel
@Wingyl ironically chara/asriel is my biggest ship in the ot3 haha, since i read most fanfic indepedent of the ot3 with them in it as well. i guess im kind of similar except with a different ship in that I tend to only read frisk/chara in the context of the ot3, otherwise i tend to (personally) feel asriel's importance is a bit neglected.
hah, i generally prefer siblings chara and asriel in the context of the ship everyone is basically going "oh no my adopted siblings are cute" with a side of "HOW DARE THEY/HE BE CUTE" with the asriel<3<frisk bit
yeah, in my case i always had a big read on chara and asriel as toxic best friends bc of flowey's iconic 'your best friend' line (but you know? in the way little kids can be negative i mean. its something you unlearn). i have some personal reasons for that too haha but i know a lot of people interpret the kids differently and that's cool. honestly i could see them having a p complicated relationship even in the case of growing older together bc chara is in that state of being looked after by the dreemurrs. and haha i see 'how dare they', that's kind of funny because i havent seen that kind of ship with frisk and asriel much.
i started shipping it because of a comic where frisk answered flowey's "why are you being so nice to me?!" question with a grin and "because it makes you mad!" and somehow...ship
like. frisk buys asriel flowers. asriel plants them in a pot that he puts in frisk's room and makes them grow huge and into inconvenient positions, such as growing onto frisk's bed. frisk puts paper cups of water in asriel's room. asriel makes frisk pancakes slathered in plum jam, which frisk doesn't like. frisk draws angry faces on asriel's pancakes in maple syrup with added edible glitter, which gets all through asriel's fur. meanwhile the two are also doing sappy romantic things with chara and neither of them are willing to interfere with each other's dates. frisk can do things like make both chara and asriel the same tea because chara loves golden flower tea and asriel...doesn't. glitter is everywhere. toriel has 0 idea of what is happening and is in a perpetual state of what is going on why is any of this happening. they go on a movie date and frisk and asriel are trying to interfere with each other's movie experience in a way that doesn't interfere with chara's and resort to eating each other's food. they all got the same thing but it's the principle of the thing.
there is a perpetual Affection War with chara as the designated target. it results in things like asriel and frisk competing over who can give the best hugs because how dare it be the other one. chara is the winner. chara is the perpetual winner.
i KNOW RIGHT. My biggest OT3 is Nick Valentine ->My SS<- John Hancock. (Not sure if there's standard denotation for V shaped poly.) Also seconding Purple Hawke(F)/Isabela/Merrill, and raising you a Zevran/Raina/Talesin (they're canon!). Obligatory Leverage OT3 mention. Everything about Parker/Hardison/Elliot is perfect and precious. Give me more of them over the super boring Nate/Sophie pleaaaase. Also I have so many polyships for Critical Role. Gilmore ->Vax<- Keyleth, Vax ->Keyleth<- Vex, Percy/Vex/Zarah to which you can throw in Keyleth and/or Pike and/or Kash and I'm happy.
@Wingyl Personally I can't hateship those kids because frisk is such a positive force for asriel in my hcs, but I like hearing why you ship that and your headcanons too. it's cute to hear why people enjoy things, regardless. also today my mind was on zuko/aang/katara... there's certain angles of that ot3 I appreciate most, but it is the way to solve all the shipping wars in atla fandom. plus I just like them as an ot3 in general.
this is Problematic 'cause flowey may or may not count as a kid, but i saw flowey <3< sans mentioned in the homestuck quadrantshipping thread and since i ship flowey <3 papyrus, i'm like, "what if sans<3<flowey<3papyrus?"
I want to ship Rodimus from transformers with everyone including people he's never met in canon and his own body pillow. Edit: My fav is Megatron/Rodimus/Ultra Magnus, where all three are heavily involved with each other.
and catching up on K6BD has reminded me that I also ship Allison with like her entire crew there. i mean like especially with Cio? But everyone else being also in it makes it even better. giant poly harempile.
I've been reading and rereading DC Bombshells, so: the entire suicide squad. It's even canon! (The suicide squad in this universe is Lt Frankie Charles, top of her class, expert in code breaking, magic, and flirty punning under fire, Enchantress, Killer Croc, Prophetic Pirate Princess Ravager, and WW1 Ace Pilot/Vampire Batgirl. I love them.)
